  • Barcelona, the Sea, and the World

    Open AccessTeofilo F RuizARTICLEIlles i imperis2021

    Between 1766 and 1868, close to 25,000 protests against the sea were filed at the Consulate of Commerce in Barcelona. By focusing on the 325 depositions extant at the ACA for the year 1868, this article contextualizes these documents within the city’s history. They become a lens through which to examine the nature of Barcelona trade, changes in the provisioning of the city, its march towards modernity, new seafaring technologies, Barcelona’s glob…

  • M iri R ubin . Cities of Strangers

    Open AccessTeofilo F RuizARTICLEThe American Historical Review2021

    A published and expanded version of Miri Rubin’s Wiles Lectures in 2017, Cities of Strangers: Making Lives in Medieval Europe is a capacious, beautifully written, and passionate engagement with urban medieval history and, by implication, with the history of migration to cities today. A distinguished and prolific medievalist, Rubin has already written splendidly on the central aspects and social contexts of medieval spirituality. In her new book, …

  • Identity and Liminality

    Teofilo F RuizARTICLEViator2020

    This article explores the social, economic, and political history of religious minorities, Conversos, and foreigners in Ávila on the eve of the expulsion of Jews in 1492 and the forced conversion of Muslims in the early sixteenth century. During the late fifteenth century, the city had the largest Jewish population in late medieval Castile, as well as a substantial number of Muslims and Conversos. For a variety of reasons-including the income der…

  • Noncalendrical Festivals

    Teofilo F RuizCHAPTERA king travels2012

    This chapter discusses noncalendrical celebrations, that is, those high moments in the life cycle—birth, coming of age, coronation, marriage, and death—and the celebratory, almost ritualized, aspects of events organized to mark such important moments in the life cycles of kings and their close families. Celebrations often served as an extension of kingly and noble hegemony. In this regard, how other contending centers of authority—cities, nobleme…

  • From Carnival to Corpus Christi

    Teofilo F RuizCHAPTERA king travels2012

    This chapter assesses the relationship between Carnival and the annual Corpus Christi celebrations in late medieval and early modern Spain. Carnival has always been associated with revelry, subversive inversions of the social order, and transgressive behavior. Meanwhile, Corpus Christi is the high point of the Catholic devotional cycle in early modern Spain. Although it seems odd to juxtapose a feast such as Carnival with that of the Corpus Chris…

  • Festivals in Late Medieval and Early Modern Spain

    Teofilo F RuizCHAPTERA king travels2012

    This introductory chapter provides an overview of festivals in late medieval and early modern Spain. Whether meant to impress and lord over neighbors, friends, or foes, or to promote and enhance royal or princely power, celebrations in the late medieval and early modern periods were, as they are today, inextricably linked to the exercise and experience of power. This book focuses on Philip II's 1585–86 journey throughout Spain. Reading accounts o…

  • Une ville entre deux mondes

    Teofilo F RuizARTICLEHispanic American Historical Review2009

    While over the last two decades many of us have taken a diversity of methodological paths, the French, or at least a good number of them, still faithfully adhere to a research tradition dating back to the massive works of Fernand Braudel on the Mediterranean and Huguette and Pierre Chaunu on the Atlantic. Are such works, in our new methodological climate, still valuable? The answer to that rhetorical question, in regard to Gregorio Salinero’s imp…

  • The Power of Kings

    Teofilo F Ruiz, Paul Monod et al.ARTICLEThe American Historical Review2000

    In the sixteenth century, the kings of Europe were like gods to their subjects. Within 150 years, however, this view of monarchs had altered dramatically: a king was the human, visible sign of the rational state. How did such a momentous shift in political understanding come about? This sweeping book explores the changing cultural significance of the power of European kings from the assassination of France's Henry III to the death of Louis XIV. P…
